The Longest Match in Tennis History- 11Hours 5 Minutes

The Longest Match in Tennis History

Chair Umpire from Sweden: Mohammad Lahyani

The longest match in the history of lawn tennis was won by John Isner of USA at Wimbledon on Thursday (24th June, 2010).

Isner and French qualifier Nicolas Mahut played a 186-game epic across three days for 11 hours and 5 minutes on Court 18 until the Isner finally won 6-4, 3-6, 6-7 (7-9), 7-6 (7-3), 70-68.

The final set alone lasted 8:11, far longer than the previously longest match (6:33 hours) as all the tennis records were smashed and the new marks probably will stand forever. Isner served 112 aces while Mahut fired 103.

So special was the moment that the All England Club organized a gift presentation from former champion Ann Jones and Tim Henman for both players — and long-suffering Swedish chair umpire Mohammed Lahyani, who also sat through the entire ordeal.

Aimee Watkins, Stephanie Rice Rated World's Sexiest Sportswoman

New Zealand women's cricket captain Aimee Watkins has been rated among the world's 64 hottest female athletes alongside American skier Lindsay Vonn, Aussie swimmer Stephanie Rice and Czech tennis player Nicole Vaidisova.


27-year-old Watkins admitted the ratings by Yahoo!Xtra came as surprise, as she does not consider herself as one of the world's sexiest sportswomen.

"I didn't know anything about it," Watkins said. "I've seen it now. Mum gave me a call and she was pretty excited and told me to go on and have a look. Since then I've had a bit of stick but, oh well. It's all a bit foreign to me."


Sports editor of Yahoo!Xtra, Mike Kilpatrick, the main driving force behind the idea of finding the sexiest sportswoman, said he had been following Aimee Watkins' career since he was at university and she seemed like a natural choice for the top 64.

"We equally appreciate field talent as much as their looks," he said. "I consider Aimee one of the foremost talents in women's cricket.

John Lloyd resigns as Britain's Davis Cup captain

John Lloyd has resigned as Britain's Davis Cup captain after the team lost to Lithuania this month, dropping to the next-to-last level of the competition.
The Lawn Tennis Association also announced Wednesday that American Paul Annacone would no longer be Britain's Davis Cup coach. Instead, he will become the head coach of men's tennis.
Britain, playing without Andy Murray, lost 3-2 in Vilnius on March 7 to a country with only three players ranked in the top 1,000.
Britain must defeat Turkey in July to avoid falling into the bottom tier.

Sweet 16

So in the end it was another victory for Roger Federer. He now has won the Australian Open four times to go with his six Wimbledons, five US Opens and one French. It was a happy ending for him after the tears of last year.

He only dropped one set on his way to the quarter-finals. He dropped the first set against Nikolay Davydenko and then wouldn’t lose another one. Davydenko had the best chance of defeating him when he served at 5-3 up in the fourth set but then lost four straight games and that was that.

Andrew Murray had his chances in the final especially in the third set but Federer was just too good. Up until that point Murray was playing flawless winner and would have been a deserved champion. Still he isn’t that far away from winning his first Grand Slam title.

On the ladies’ side, it was Serena Williams and Justine Henin in the final. It was crazy that this was the first Grand Slam final between the two giving how they had been in 25 finals between them.

Henin did well to make the final on her return to tennis but in the end Williams had too much firepower. Williams only lost two sets on her way to her 12th Grand Slam singles title. It was her fifth Australian Open title and tennis betting already has her as favourite to pick up her second French Open title.

Henin only lost two sets on her way to the final. She now has to wait for another Australian Open title to go with the one she won in 2004.

The locals wouldn’t be so happy about how they fared. Lleyton Hewitt again had to carry the flag for the locals and he had no chance against Roger Federer. Even less so when it was revealed that he has a hip injury.

So now the tour heads into the regular season. Should be exciting between now and the next Grand Slam in Paris. How will Rafael Nadal fare? Will he be able to come back to his best? What about Kim Clijsters and Justin Henin? Will they able to maintain the lofty standards they set for themselves on their return. Both made the final in their first Grand Slam back.

As usual, should be very exciting.

Looking Towards Rod Laver Arena

One year is over and the new one begins. Just as quickly the build-up starts for the first Grand Slam event of the year. There are a lot of questions to ponder regarding this year’s Australian Open.

Defending champion, Rafael Nadal, isn’t heading into the tournament in the best of form and tennis betting isn’t sure what to make of him. It is quite crazy – 12 months ago he was just about invincible and how he is plagued by injury and self-doubt.

Similarly Roger Federer isn’t the same juggernaut he once was. Yes he played in all four Grand Slam finals last year but only won two of those most notably the US Open last time up to Juan Martin del Potro.

That leaves the question – how open is the men’s tournament? In previous years have sprung up surprise finalists be it Marcos Bagdhatis, Petr Korda or Thomas Johansson. Those last two actually won the tournament and never did anything else of note.

On the women’s side of things, the big question will be how Serena Williams fares. She came under huge scrutiny following her meltdown at the US Open.
Also there is the return of Justine Henin and Kim Clijsters. The two played in the 2004 decider which Henin won in three sets. You would think this places extra pressure on the likes of Dinara Safina, Ana Ivanovic, Svetlana Kuznetsova, Caroline Wozniacki, Elena Dementieva and Maria Sharapova.

The two Belgian players are really the only two who seems to not to crumple into a ball of nerves when playing one of the Williams sisters.
From a local perspective, again the best and probably only hope is Lleyton Hewitt. The problem for him is his age and injuries. He doesn’t look to have what it takes to make it deep into a Grand Slam. Also the draw doesn’t seem to do him any favors. There is Jelena Dokic but she doesn’t seem to be in the same groove as she was last year when she made it as far as the quarter-finals.

We shall see. As usual it will be a fantastic two weeks of tennis.

Goodbye Hardcourts, Hello Clay

The hardcourt season is over and attention now turns to clay. The clay season is always a highlight of the year and as usual will culminate with the French Open. Despite there being great claycourt tournaments in Rome, Hamburg, Monte Carlo and Madrid everyone is already thinking about the French Open 2009.

Rafael Nadal is obviously the huge favorite and the one all tennis betting is looking at to win again. The difference this year is that Roger Federer may not be his main adversary. Andy Murray is in simply scintillating form. He has beaten Nadal recently but does he have the game to topple him on clay? How will Federer feel is it is Murray and not him who is the one to do it? Federer didn’t have a good hardcourt season and so ironically will be looking towards the clay for respite. He doesn’t have the game he did in years gone by and opponents don’t seem to be as intimidated as they once were.

On the ladies' side, will it again be a case of the Wiliams sisters against the rest? Ana Ivanovic looks absolutely no chance to defend her title. You wouldn’t play a tennis bet on her with somebody else’s money! Victoria Azarenko did well in winning in the Sony Ericsson Open. Can this translate into Grand Slam success? Dinara Safina made her name at last year's French Open - can she repeat those heroics? Will be fascinating to watch.
